1. God stands among the divine council;He renders judgment among the gods.
2. “How long will you all judge unjustlyand accept partiality of the wicked? Selah
3. Defend the poor and fatherless;vindicate the afflicted and needy.
4. Grant escape to the abused and the destitute,pluck them out of the hand of the false.
5. “They have neither knowledge nor understanding;they walk in darkness:all the foundations of the earth are shaken.”
6. I have said, “You are gods,sons of the Most High, all of you,
7. but you all shall die like men,and fall like a man, O princes.”
